Mine's a pint
Peter Horrocks, Vice Chancellor of the Open University, dropped by to investigate the irrigation verification I was running on campus:
The combination of 81 pint pots, with sprinklers sending graceful arcs of water out to sparkle in the sunshine, drew a lot of attention. So much of our research is done out of sight - behind closed doors, or out in the middle of nowhere - that it was a pleasure to share even a small aspect of what I'm doing with interested passers-by and colleagues. I may install a deckchair so people can come and do science, while catching some rays!
